The Border Regiment was an Infantry Regiment of the line in the British Army, which was formed in 1881 by the amalgamation of the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot and the 55th (Westmorland) Regiment of Foot. After service in the First and Second World Wars, it was amalgamated into The King's Own Royal Border Regiment in 1959. Its lineage is continued today by the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. During WW1 the 5th Battalion mobilised in August 1914 and saw action on the Western Front from October of that year. Five Members of the Regiment were awarded the Victoria Cross during WW1. This is an excellent 1st Type, hook quillon '07' sword bayonet by Enfield, complete with original 1st type scabbard. These bayonets were introduced in January 1908 (see page 186 of British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton). The sword bayonet has a 17" polished steel single edged blade which is stamped on the ricasso with the Kings crown and '1907' (pattern) together with date '8 13' (August 1913) and 'EFD' (Enfield).
